When a struct credential expires, credential_fill() clears c->password
so that clients don't try to use it later. However, a struct cred that
uses an alternate authtype won't have a password, but might have a
credential stored in c->credential.
This is a problem, for example, when an OAuth2 bearer token is used. In
the system I'm using, the OAuth2 configuration generates and caches a
bearer token that is valid for an hour. After the token expires, git
needs to call back into the credential helper to use a stored refresh
token to get a new bearer token. But if c->credential is still non-NULL,
git will instead try to use the expired token and fail with an error:
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://<oauth2-enabled-server>/repository'
And on the server:
[auth_openidc:error] [client <ip>:34012] oidc_proto_validate_exp: "exp" validation failure (1717522989): JWT expired 224 seconds ago
Fix this by clearing both c->password and c->credential for an expired
struct credential. While we're at it, use credential_clear_secrets()
wherever both c->password and c->credential are being cleared.
Update comments in credential.h to mention the new struct fields.

Since 18d8c26930 (test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty,
2015-08-04), we set up a pty and copy stdin to the child program. But
this ends up being racy; once we send all of the bytes and close the
descriptor, the child program will no longer see a terminal! isatty()
will return 0, and trying to read may return EIO, even if we didn't yet
get all of the bytes.
This was mentioned even in the commit message of 18d8c26930, but we
hacked around it by just sending an infinite input from /dev/zero (in
the intended case, we only cared about isatty(0), not reading actual
input).
And it came up again recently in:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/d42a55b1-1ba9-4cfb-9c3d-98ea4d86da33@gmail.com/
where we tried to actually send bytes, but they don't always all come
through. So this interface is somewhat of an accident waiting to happen;
a caller might not even care about stdin being a tty, but will get bit
by the flaky behavior.
One solution would probably be to avoid closing test_terminal's end of
the pty altogether. But then the other side would never see EOF on its
stdin. That may be OK for some cases, but it's another gotcha that
might cause races or deadlocks, depending on what the child expects to
read.
Let's instead just drop test_terminal's stdin feature completely. Since
the previous commit dropped the two cases from t4153 for which the
feature was originally added, there are no callers left that need it.

After a patch fails, you can ask "git am" to try applying it again with
new options by running without any of the resume options. E.g.:
git am <patch
# oops, it failed; let's try again
git am --3way
But since this second command has no explicit resume option (like
"--continue"), it looks just like an invocation to read a fresh patch
from stdin. To avoid confusing the two cases, there are some heuristics,
courtesy of 8d18550318 (builtin-am: reject patches when there's a
session in progress, 2015-08-04):
if (in_progress) {
/*
* Catch user error to feed us patches when there is a session
* in progress:
*
* 1. mbox path(s) are provided on the command-line.
* 2. stdin is not a tty: the user is trying to feed us a patch
* from standard input. This is somewhat unreliable -- stdin
* could be /dev/null for example and the caller did not
* intend to feed us a patch but wanted to continue
* unattended.
*/
if (argc || (resume_mode == RESUME_FALSE && !isatty(0)))
die(_("previous rebase directory %s still exists but mbox given."),
state.dir);
if (resume_mode == RESUME_FALSE)
resume_mode = RESUME_APPLY;
[...]
So if no resume command is given, then we require that stdin be a tty,
and otherwise complain about (potentially) receiving an mbox on stdin.
But of course you might not actually have a terminal available! And
sadly there is no explicit way to hit this same code path; this is the
only place that sets RESUME_APPLY. So you're stuck, and scripts like our
test suite have to bend over backwards to create a pseudo-tty.
Let's provide an explicit option to trigger this mode. The code turns
out to be quite simple; just setting "resume_mode" to RESUME_FALSE is
enough to dodge the tty check, and then our state is the same as it
would be with the heuristic case (which we'll continue to allow).
When we don't have a session in progress, there's already code to
complain when resume_mode is set (but we'll add a new test to cover
that).
To test the new option, we'll convert the existing tests that rely on
the fake stdin tty. That lets us test them on more platforms, and will
let us simplify test_terminal a bit in a future patch.
It does, however, mean we're not testing the tty heuristic at all.

Introduce a new command that allows the user to migrate a repository
between ref storage formats. This new command is implemented as part of
a new git-refs(1) executable. This is due to two reasons:
- There is no good place to put the migration logic in existing
commands. git-maintenance(1) felt unwieldy, and git-pack-refs(1) is
not the correct place to put it, either.
- I had it in my mind to create a new low-level command for accessing
refs for quite a while already. git-refs(1) is that command and can
over time grow more functionality relating to refs. This should help
discoverability by consolidating low-level access to refs into a
single executable.
As mentioned in the preceding commit that introduces the ref storage
format migration logic, the new `git refs migrate` command still has a
bunch of restrictions. These restrictions are documented accordingly.

With the introduction of the new "reftable" backend, users may want to
migrate repositories between the backends without having to recreate the
whole repository. Add the logic to do so.
The implementation is generic and works with arbitrary ref storage
formats so that a backend does not need to implement any migration
logic. It does have a few limitations though:
- We do not migrate repositories with worktrees, because worktrees
have separate ref storages. It makes the overall affair more complex
if we have to migrate multiple storages at once.
- We do not migrate reflogs, because we have no interfaces to write
many reflog entries.
- We do not lock the repository for concurrent access, and thus
concurrent writes may end up with weird in-between states. There is
no way to fully lock the "files" backend for writes due to its
format, and thus we punt on this topic altogether and defer to the
user to avoid those from happening.
In other words, this version is a minimum viable product for migrating a
repository's ref storage format. It works alright for bare repos, which
often have neither worktrees nor reflogs. But it will not work for many
other repositories without some preparations. These limitations are not
set into stone though, and ideally we will eventually address them over
time.
The logic is not yet used by anything, and thus there are no tests for
it. Those will be added in the next commit.

In `get_worktree_ref_store()` we either return the repository's main ref
store, or we look up the ref store via the map of worktree ref stores.
Which of these worktrees gets picked depends on the `is_current` bit of
the worktree, which indicates whether the worktree is the one that
corresponds to `the_repository`.
The bit is getting set in `get_worktrees()`, but only after we have
computed the list of all worktrees. This is too late though, because at
that time we have already called `get_worktree_ref_store()` on each of
the worktrees via `add_head_info()`. The consequence is that the current
worktree will not have been marked accordingly, which means that we did
not use the main ref store, but instead created a new ref store. We thus
have two separate ref stores now that map to the same ref database.
Fix this by setting `is_current` before we call `add_head_info()`.

In Python 3.6, unrecognized escape sequences in regular expressions
started to produce a DeprecationWarning [1]. In Python 3.12, this was
upgraded to a SyntaxWarning and will eventually be raised even further
to a SyntaxError. We indirectly hit such unrecognized escape sequences
via Asciidoc, which results in a bunch of warnings:
$ asciidoc -o /dev/null git-cat-file.txt
<unknown>:1: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\S'
<unknown>:1: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\S'
This in turn causes our "ci/test-documentation.sh" script to fail, as it
checks that stderr of `make doc` is empty.
These escape sequences seem to be part of Asciidoc itself. In the long
term, we should probably consider dropping support for Asciidoc in favor
of Asciidoctor. Upstream also considers itself to be legacy software and
recommends to move away from it [2]:
It is suggested that unless you specifically require the AsciiDoc.py
toolchain, you should find a processor that handles the modern
AsciiDoc syntax.
For now though, let's expand its lifetime a little bit more by filtering
out these new warnings. We should probably reconsider once the warnings
are upgraded to errors by Python.

The "check-docs" target of our top-level Makefile fulfills two different
roles. For one it runs the "lint-docs" target of the "Documentation/"
Makefile. And second it performs some checks of whether there are any
manpages that are missing or extraneous via some inline scripts.
The second set of checks feels quite misplaced in the top-level Makefile
as it would fit in much better with our "lint-docs" target. Back when
the checks were introduced in 8c989ec528 (Makefile: $(MAKE) check-docs,
2006-04-13), that target did not yet exist though.
Furthermore, the script makes use of several Makefile variables which
are defined in the top-level Makefile, which makes it hard to access
their contents from elsewhere. There is a trick though that we already
use in "check-builtins.sh" to gain access: we can create an ad-hoc
Makefile that has an extra target to print those variables.
Pull out the script into a separate "lint-manpages.sh" script by using
that trick. Wire up that script via the "lint-docs" target. For one,
normal shell scripts are way easier to reason about than those which are
embedded in a Makefile. Second, it allows one to easily execute the
script standalone without any of the other checks.

In insert_recursive_pattern(), we create a new pattern_entry to insert
into the parent_hashmap. If we find that the same entry already exists
in the hashmap, we skip adding the new one. But we forget to free the new
one, creating a leak.
We can fix it by cleaning up the discarded entry. It would probably be
possible to avoid creating it in the first place, but it's non-trivial.
We'd have to define a "keydata" struct that lets us compare the existing
entries to the broken-out fields. It's probably not worth the
complexity, so we'll punt on that for now.
There is one subtlety here: our insertion is happening in a loop, with
each iteration looking at the pattern we just inserted (hence the
"recursive" in the name). So if we skip insertion, what do we look at?
The obvious answer is that we should remember the existing duplicate we
found and use that. But I _think_ in that case, we probably already have
all of the recursive bits already (from when the original entry was
added). And so just breaking out of the loop would be correct. But I'm
not 100% sure on that; after all, the original leaky code could have
done the same break, but it didn't.
So I went with the "obvious answer" above, which has no chance of
changing the behavior aside from fixing the leak.
